A Movie That Knows Exactly What It Is

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2014)

A movie about giant robots fighting monsters, admit it, you or at least people you knew thought this was going to crash and burn. I on the other hand looooove giant monster movies. Seeing that this movie knew exactly what it was and watching it deliver all the giant fighting robot action it could was just too amazing. This is one of those movies I wish would be re-released in IMAX since I didn't have an IMAX theater at the time this came out. I want to cheer with my friends as these giant monsters and robots fight. Everything about this movie just makes you want to stand up and cheer out of pure epicness. The story is as simple as it gets. Big unexplained portal in the ocean opens up and giant monsters come out, we make robots to fight them. Boom, movie. The characters aren't the most interesting but I didn't expect them to be at all, they had more character than I thought they would so I'll give them that. The effects, holy crap they're intense. The best? No. Good? Oh they're really really good. If you love monsters or robots then I'd say buy it. If you want just a cool action movie to watch then I'd say stream it.
